The report card
Best for business texting sold by message credits
Mobile Text Alerts sells texting by monthly credits, from $36 a month billed annually for 1,000 credits, with a 14-day trial and no card. But the API starts on a $500 plan, and the monthly price isn't shown.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $36 a month on annual billing for 1,000 credits, the middle of the category. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 14-day trial with 50 messages and no card, and no free plan. |
| Features | C | Campaigns, keywords, a two-way inbox and sign-up tools, with the API held back for $500 a month and up. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and keywords and sign-up tools need setting up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with Zapier and a custom API; no desktop app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Mobile Text Alerts is for
- Fits if you send texts to a list built by keyword or QR code
- Works for small senders who don't need the API
Who it is not for
- Tight if you want the API: Professional, from $500 a month
- Watch out: only the annual price is shown, with no monthly figure
- Watch out: an MMS costs 3 credits, and unused credits don't roll over on annual plans
- Pricey if you outgrow 1,000 credits: extra messages are 4 cents each
Good to know
Good for
- Small businesses starting with 1,000 messages a month
- Teams that want QR code and keyword sign-ups
Worth knowing
- The 1 SMS to the US or Canada costs 1 credit and an MMS costs 3; international rates vary.
- The API is only on Professional and above, which start at $500 a month.
- Unused messages roll over for one month on monthly plans; on annual plans they do not roll over.
- Only the annual price is shown by default; the page offers a 20% annual saving but not a monthly figure.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Mobile Text Alerts you would be making texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $432 a year.
What you could make
- QR codes: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Zapier and Slack among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Mobile Text Alerts’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
